A handsome drinks set comprising a decanter and six glasses, from silversmiths Francis Howard.

Made from lead crystal, the matching decanter and glasses have heavy bases and striking twirled skirt-style bottoms. The clear and simple glass highlights the contents, and the swirling design catches the light beautifully. The imposing decanter has a sterling silver collar and crystal stopper.

The collar is made from 925 sterling silver, hallmarked in the Sheffield Assay Office.

Silversmiths Francis Howard was established in Sheffield in 1870, and the company is still run by the Howard family today.
